To protect your printer from a power surge, make sure that the printer’s power
switch is in the
off
position before plugging in the cord. Failure to do so may
damage the printer.
1.
Plug the power cord into the printer and into a grounded outlet.
2.
Turn on the power to any peripherals you have connected.
3.
Wait about 10 seconds, then turn on the printer.
The printer goes through a series of self-tests and warm-up, taking
about 17 minutes. During the warm-up, a Cleaning Page will print.
As the printer warms up, you will hear a series of noises; these are
normal and are not an indication of problems with the printer.
